Woman: The Dominant SexThe author argues that the women of today have "turned the United States into a matriarchate that has uprooted the normal patterns of family living, " that this is "making it increasingly difficult for men to retain their individuality and traditional sexual status, " and that "its consequences have had, and continue to have, a destructive impact on society as well as on woman herself."--Book jacket. |
